Rock’n Robins

April 9, 2013 By Gail Leave a Comment

Our Minnesota spring has gone AWOL.  Grey days, cold weather, and no real reprieve forecast has left me desperately looking for any signs of better days ahead.  So far I have seen one brave motorcyclist on the highway, and my day lilies have poked their green heads about an inch out of the frigid earth. Meager offerings at best.

Vexingly, I had not seen a robin, the gold standard for spring’s arrival.  My neighbor said she had seen one, and a couple of days ago my husband said he’d seen one while walking our dog Booker.  I’m not a one to hold a grudge at their good fortune…much…but I vowed I would see one today.  I NEEDED to see one today.

My morning walk with Booker produced nothing in the way of red breasts except maybe my own. (It was still very nippy out and I should have worn a heavier coat. What? To much information?) All throughout the day I would pause at a window and search the lawn and trees for a robin. Nothing.

About 5 p.m. I opened the garage door and put the leash on Booker.  As I stepped onto the driveway I heard a cacophony of song.  Looking upwards, and I swear this is true, I must have seen fifty robins flying over head, sky dancing, and landing in our trees.  I laughed and said, “Thank you!!!!!”

It was the best part of my day.

A Message From Gail

Through my blog and website, I hope to share beauty, laughter, inspiration, aging & midlife lessons and advice on dealing with menopause. I will also devote time to integrative health and healing tips and news. I want feedback and questions because, while we may be sharing the journey, every woman has her own experience and her own story.
